EXCERPTS FROM LETTER OF SOVIET UNION TO. RED CHINA REPORTEDLY DATED FEDRUARY 22, 1962
RUSSIA WOOS RED CHINA
“We decided to write you this letter to oxpress our concern over tha course of relations between our 2 parties have taken recently. Ina frank and comradcly way, wo vould like to express our serious anxicty over the fact that friendship and ‘cooperation between Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of China forged under comnon struggle for the great cause of Communism are not being strengthened any mores but rather weakened to the detriment of the interest of the socialist. camp and the world movement, all Communists and all progressivés are deeply worried by the disagreetiont in the range of principal problems of contemporary development in the world and tactics of the international Communist movement. This disagreemant tends to grieviously tell on the activiticas of the fraternal parties, hampering anti-imperialist struggle, pre- vents the socialist system from conducting coordinated foreign policies, makes more difficult an egreemont on disarmament, handi- caps anti-colonial struggle, weakens the efforts to assiat _* national liberation xovements in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
The unity of the broad anti-inperialist movenont which has scored
great victories in the post-war period, is now in danger. Those
are detrimental to all fraternal parties and the liberation
movement as a whole. These are advantages only to the enemies
o£ cocialicm. The imperialists fail to undermine the might of
the socialist camp by war provocations and econcaic blockades
~ ate now counting on the split of the socialist community. With-
out unity and proper coordination of activities, the forcign "
policy of the sacialist countries tends to lose ite dynamism
and effectiveness, There are no two answars for Marxist-Leninist.
The fraternal interasts of cocialism and Conounisn require that
our two partics raise themselves over the differencas, carry out
as before, coordinate single policies on all principal issuas,
It is the duty of Comaunists to scck the correct way out of the
difficult situations which may arise in the world Communist πόνο“ / 7% folwn —ment and to find true solutions, MOD easy apo Gollaten mene "Our foremest task is to. consolidate in avery possible Reloh—way the revolutionary forces to advance on imperialism united lclne —eenning over one position after another.

to preyent a new war, to preserve feace, to erable all people of the socialist camp to successfully construct socialisn and Comnunism, to create more favorable considerations for an increasing struggle of the peoples for their national independence. We have a good basis for conducting these single policies ~ the éeclaration of 1957 and. the document adopted at the Moscow Conference of the fraternal parties in 1960, Based on scientific principles of Marxism-Leninism, these documoants determined the most positions and platforms of all Communist movements, ites strategy and tactics today, - finds ways and means to overcome differences and work out a single line - despite the serious differences - =—-“——-whitch became obviolis in the Summer of: 1960. whereas the other " £raternal parties went to the Novenber conference with the sincere desire to do everything possible to strengthen the unity of the world Communist movement. To’ reach éomplete under- standing between the CPSU and the CPC, the exchange of opinion at the November meeting enriched ideologically every fraternal party and promoted close ties inside the Communist movement. The analysis of the modern world and its major problems con- tributed Significantly to the comizon, cause, -
| "This enabled to reflect in all adopted documents the. experience of the Communist movenent as ἃ whole. The detlaration outlined ideas about the character of today's world, the possibility of averting a war, principles of peaceful co-~ — istence, forms of transition to socialism, It stressed the seeoreanes of fighting both revisionisa and dogmatisn taking into adcount thet the balance of power is favoring soclalisn. more. Now that the Hoscow conference is a yeer behind, we can state oh t its decisions have withstood the test o£ time and can -sttecessfully adve the consolidation of fraternal partics. The representatives of our two parties signed the declaration ot} the Moscow meeting and hence adopted it as their programs. If νὰ did not want to see the Communist Parties work ς _ Beparately, weakening themselves by internal strugple, if we are really concerned with the necessity of solidifying our ranks and arc prepared to avert the break, we have only one

way out - this is to formally adhere to the line adopted by the Moscow Conference to avoid arbitrary interpretations of its decisions. Our party is convinced the decisions of the Moscow Conferenea are correct - we support them uncquivocally and écon it our duty to practice them in life. Since the Communist ἢ Party of China has repeatedly stressed its loyalty to thé declaration, we consider that there is every possibility of overcoming existing differonces - solidifying our ranks on thé basis of Marxion-Leninton.
"In this letter wo £ind no desire to raise gquéstions whore we have disagreements. We believe that in the circumstance we. have to emphasize those points which unite us - leaving aside those ones which we find controversial. To resume argunent now would hardiy help the decisive fact that our two parties as the - whole Communist movement have.as their goal the liquidation of imperialist rule and the triunph of the proletariat rovolu- tion. Consequently wo have no differorices in regard τὸ the ultimate aims. of our struggle. You have also stated on several eccasions that we are united on. fundamental problens and this in the main thing for our differences apparently are of a tactical character. However important the problens of tactics and methods may be, they cannot possibly overshadow the main ob* jectives of 611 Cormunists, We have to do everything to overcome those differences. oh these problems since, as experience shows, that the worsoning of such may lead. to differont understanding ' of the very ains of our struggle.
"Our duty is to check these developments + to see that different views do not become raed blocks. We are realists. We consider particularly harmful carrying our differences into the eohore of economic, political, military and cultural relations among the soctalist countries.
‘We gee no necessity in this letter to repeat proposals aimed at the strengthening and further development of our economic and culturaltids, coordinating of foreign policy,

For the information of the Bureau, the Chicago Office is in the process of laying! the necessary groundwork in connec- tion with the creation of @ new legend for CG 5824~S8*, While no SOLO trip on the part of; CG 5824-S* appears imminent nor presently under consideration, both the Chicago Office and CG 5824-S* feel that without question there will be some future request forthcoming from the Soviets or a direction on the part of the CP, USA, that either CG 5824~S* or NY 694-S* undergo such a trip. Since the current legend and passport possessed by CG 5824~S* has already been utilized for a number of SOLO missions, it is the opinion both of the Chicago Office and of the source that a new Legend should be created which will afford this operation continued maximum security.
Since basic to the creation of any new legend is the securing of a reliable and secure address which can be utilized in connection with all necessary documentation for such a legend, all of Chicago's initial efforts have been in this direction, In this regard, Chicago now feels it has developed a person who is fully reliable, trustworthy, and loyal who would be willing to cooperate with the FBI in allowing the use of his residence address in connection with such ἃ legend, It is felt that this person is an individual who could maintain complete confidence of all trusts and would cooperate to the,fullest extent, The idéntity, of this individual i :

The Chicago Office is in the process of laying the necessary Ὶ groundwork in connection with the creation of a new legend for CG 5824-S*,
Basic to the creation of a new legend is obtaining a reli- able and secure address which can be utilized in connection with all necessary documents for sich a legend. Chicago feels it has developed such a person who is fully reliable; trustworthy, loyal and who would be willing to cooperate to the fulrest (extent with the FBI in allow- 56 | This individual is bic

[[——séd@ has in the past on several occasions made available to SA Freyman certain props, without obligation, which have been utilized by CG 5824-S* in connection with Solo Missions. He has never inquired as to the reason behind the request or the utilization of such props nor has he ever — disclosed his relationship with the FBI as far as can be ascertained.
Bureau files contain no identifiable rete Ss t¢ | his a nee Lbs Joseph A. O'Connell, deceased attorney; 5 mother, Edna Ὁ. O'Connell; nor his uncle, the Reverend Highael J. O'Connell, deceased. O21/o0- £2F09/-409D (uncle)

had been receiving fees from foreign estates seized during the war: by the Alien Property Custodian. At the termination of this inves~- tigation the Director of the Office of Alien Property directed a letter to Drolet in which he stated the investigation established all charges against Drolet by the "Chicago Sun" were false.
In connection with the selection of a name for CG 5824-S*, Chicago selected the following names after checking them through . Chicago indices with negative results in regard to subversive references:
_——,
Bureau files contain no references on the names Vlad M, Jules and Arnold W. Rush u filés contain references on the’ other names. On 5/11/64 1. U. 5. State Departiient, advised our Liaison representative on a confidential basis that the
files of the Security Division and the Passport Division of State contained no references to Jules and Rush.
OBSERVATIONS :
While no Solo trips on the part of CG 5824-S* appear imminent nor presently under consideration, it is felt that without question there will be some future request forthcoming from the Soviets or a direction on the part of the Conimunist Party, USA, that informant undergo such a trip, Since the current legend and passport of CG 5824~S* have already been utilized for a number of Solo Missions, it is felt that a new legend should be created which will afford this operation continued maximum security.
Since the surname Rush is similar to that of our present Secretary of State (Rusk), it could become possibly a conversation piece in informant's travels and attract undué attention to him, For this reason, it is_believed the name Haxzjold M. Jules is more appropriate.
RECOMMENDAT ION :
- ‘Phat the attached e_directed-to Chicago authorizing that office to contact "παι for the pirpose of using his address in this operation and authorizing Chicago to proiptly ~~ rion of a -new Legend for informant.

This memorandum sets forth a request of Cektral Intell Ygence Agency (CIA) to use certain of our "fap Secret" information in a paper concerning the Soviet-Albanian dispute. The CIA request stated it would ‘ake to publish this paper under either a ‘288% Secret" no foreign disseminat fop- classification or preferably under a "Secret" no foreign disseninatio@ classification. It is recommended that CIA be allowed to use this’ information only if it receives no foreign dissemination and is lasses ied “ers Secret." This information was furnished by CG 5824-8* ae ΞΞ 5/15/62 CIA furnished our Liaison representative a copy of a ipnortadun dated 5/7/62 from W. P. Southard to Mrs. Jane Roman. The memorandum requests permission to use certain information in a paper το be. published either under a “8g—~7 Secret" no foreign dissen~ ination classification or preferably under a "Secret" no foreign dis- semination=¢lassification. This information had been supplied to CIA by the Bureau by letter dated 1/19/61. we nd | = '; Attached to the copy of the above-mentioned memorandum was, a draftof Chapter 6 of this paper. A review of instant document revealsethatSinformation contained therein approximates 2 pages of information=furnished by the FBI of a total of the 26-page draft. This information was provided by CG 5824-S* as a result of his attendarige at’ a meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties held in _ Moscow, ‘Russia, in late 1960. It relates to certain charges made \by Enver- -Hoxha;, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Albanian? Party of Labor, concerning Nikita Khrushchev and certain policies: of Russia.

No matter how much CIA paraphrases the information furnished it, the Soviets, by an analysis of the material, could possibly detect that an American source was involved,
RECOMMENDATIONS :
That our Liaison representative advise CIA that we have no objection to the use of this information in a paper as it now

UG. 5824-S* is a long-titie member and leader of the CPUSA with his membership going back to 1920. He has ἃ record of 42 years in the CP, three years of wuich were spent at the Lenin School where te held jeadership positions and where he worked directly under the Supervision and guidance of the Russians and carried out their orders and discipline in the Lenin School, τ
| During this period he studied and nastered abl phases of communist strategy and tagtics ag taught in the School and was particularly trained for leadership in the American CP movement in the political field, He is personally Amown to the present CPSU Leadership by virtue of three years of residence in the USSR and his many trips to the Soviet Union Since that time. He is also known to every communist leader of stature in the world today, having dealt witi. trem
Latimately in the Lenin School and subsequént thereto
His record following the Lenin School has always been in a leadership position as a district organizer, as tke editor of the "Daily Worker," ate., where he acted orm and made political decisions and interpretations of international political moves from tke Marxist-Leninist standpoint, .In that connection he assisted and. participated in making numerous CP national decisions and policy making matters.in the political trarias lie was never and is not row an apparatus wan in communist: {

deal with them, This is well understood by the top ranking Party leadership, and it is
well known to, this leadership that the Russians do not presently want the top CPUSA ' leader to be a Negro. These facts, according
to CG 5824-S+, of course, would be denied * publicly by both the hussians and the leadership of the CPRUSA, ;
NY 694-5 .
CG 5824-S* has through the years Stated that the reason why he and NY 694-S+ fit so well and work so well together as ἃ team in the Solo apparatus is that their experiences and training dovetail and fulfill the total needs of the Solo apparatus.
By this he means that: the apparatus. requires two- types of individuals, the first being a man whose background is along political TinesS such as himself. The second type of individual requires a man with years of extensive CP apparatus training and this is exemplified by the background - of NY 634~S*. -
NY 494-5* is some few years younger than CG 5824::5 sg be entered the communist moyement some years later. than CG 5824-S*, He started in the youth movement,but as he has hims elf ‘frequently stated to agents of this office he was never interésted in politics--communist οὐ otherwise. Rather, he was interested in intrigue and adventure and the cP attracted him for this reason.
Et is "understandable that when NY 694-~S* went to the Soviet Union, he was trained there to do cP apparatus or illegal work, that is, to set up an illegal radio apparatus network, to obtain fraudulent birth certificates and other documents, in codes and ciphers, etc,
When he returned to the U.S., he pursued CP apparatus~
type of illegal work for the CP and was more or less detached organizationally from the CP for that reason. In fact, according to CG 5824-S*, NY 694-S*, for the reason tliat he was assigned to illegal work, has bot attended closed CP meetings in over 20 years. This, ofcourse, is, a necessary requisite for a ΟΡ apparatus individuals’ modus operandi ..

ΝΕ So, in the Solo apparatus as presentiy constructed we have the ideal situation of two men inyolvéd, one being a politically trained and experienced man and the other being - mexperienced and extremely capable apparatus trained man, both of whom are known to and trusted by the Russians and the CPUSA leadership over a period of many, many years of trusted service, Both informants completely trust the. ‘Judgmént of the other and respect. each other's decisions. in their respective fields of activity since they both recognize that each is an expert in his own field. et, In considering possible replacements for NY 694-5%, αν 4&t is the opinion of this office that a person with the: follow- wot -ing qualifications would most suitably fit into either present " : appavatus. needs as Ὁ replacement. for NY 694-S* in the event : of iliness or for other reasons: : ᾿ 1, He should have long experience aud training in Party apparatus work, preferably in Russia, and should preferably be known to the Russians. A present or former organizational secretary of the Party at a national or district level would be the type of person who would be appropriately trained for ον Sueh an asgignment since organizational secretaries are ~- trained in apparatus work. Other individuals who might be considered would be individuals in some of the former leader— ship of the old Party underground since this experiance would qualify them fox such an assignment.
2, The individual should be of the white race as
individuais of other races are likely to be more ndticeabie
an the U.S. or in European countries where they would have _ | ες Gontacts with’ the Russians or other such type individuals.
ΝΣ 3, The individual must, be in currént Pood standing with the CPUSA national leadership, particularly with GUS HALL.
4, The individual should have a record of Long service and unquestioned loyalty to the communist movemant ; The longer the period of this service the better.
‘It is noted that the functions of NY 694-S* as distinguished from CG 5824-S* are in the main of a more varied nature in that they involye technical knowledge and aptitude,

personal contacts. undér surreptitious conditions, ‘courier seryices and to a more limited extent personal contacts with the Russians and satellite leadership on broad subject
matter of a more technical nature than CG 5824-S*'s contacts genorally are, If NY 694-S* is sent to discuss any political matters abroad, he is. instructed and briefed in detail by
CG 5824-S* and receives careful direction in matters relating | το political discussions.
‘It, therefore, appears. that in considering individuals who might work with or succeed NY 694-S*, it would be necessary to analyze the needs and duties that a successor ox someone to supplement NY 694-S5*'s duties would be expected to take overs If, for example, it is decided that NY 694-5*, since he cannot fo to Canada, ‘should’ have a courier for - nessages- between the CPUSA and LESLIE MORRIS in Canada and - this individual should operate for no other’ purpose than to deliver stich messages, then such a person would. hot secessarily néed to have the same qualifications as & person who would totally succeed NY 694-S* in the Solo operation. Similar analysis could be made, for example, if the need was for an alternate contact with the Russian principal. Jn this tase. another type of individual with quite different qualifications ‘than that of a courier would be neaded as the Russians would

as to the in the Solo Operation
Obser yatéons’ antl Possible Use of
The primary question as it appears to this office with regard to the utilization of this highly placed informant | and the one which it would be most necessary to resolve is
the apparatus assignment that this individual should he , .. pointed to. The question is whether, based upon the requisite gialifications,; backgrounds and experience of CG 5624-Sk and NY 694-S*, does he have the necessary qualifications including the trust of the Russians and the CPUSA leadership to be groomed to possibly succedd or assist NY G694-S* or CG 5824-S*?
The second question that should. be resolved is, ΝΣ fis there a need to bring i to supplement or assist ΠΟΤ possibly train:~ in the Current bolo Operation so that
the operation could continue or perpetuate ‘beyond the time
ji when CG 5824-S* or NY 694~S*cannot be further utilized?
" The third question would be, is the informant willing and does he have the time to devote to such an operation and can he travel if: necessary on the demands of the Party, it being noted that HALL makes fast decisions and expécts immediate response?
The views of this officé relative to question #1 . are thee ass certain qualifications which are good with regard to- hembership in the CP, association with NY 694-S*, the confidence of HALL, and. the fact that the . Russians aré awaré of his identity: He appears to lack sone qualifications with regard to background touhandle CP. political problems which is the end of the operation in which CG 5824-S* is operative and which is the heart and “goul -of the Solo operation from the standpoint of the CPUSA and the Russians. .
τον Concreétely speaking, when CG 5824-S* goes to the USSR, the problems hé takes up with al] Communid Parties: and
the hussiahs concern the international communist problens,
strategy and tactics from ἃ political standpoint, aid he,
therefore, must necessarily have had the political background

intimate participation in the innermost policies and. . secrets of the CPUSA because he must intelligentity analyze. and interpret these policies in discussions at tke highest levels in the international communist movement. and as A ° corollary he must also be able to Analyze and comprehend
the bends and turns in the international communist, movenent's political arena, immediately...
in these trips abroad, OG 5824+5% must also write political theses and speeches for other American delegates and this requires years and years of experience and extensive hiarxist~Leninist background and training. He hat frequently stated that the misplacement of a comma or period in these documents could spell the political death of a conmunist leader such as hinself.
Sumnarizing the views of this office and based upon
Quy limited knowledge of the New York informant and his . political background, pears to be a question in our | minds as to whether could agsume the pélitical responsibilities of CG 53924-S* insofar as Solo is concerned without extensive training over 4 period of years, + « This would necessarily additionally require experience in sone. CP leadership capacity where he could prove to the CPUSA leader-. ship his capabilities and political anderstanding to. qualify him to represent the CPUSA in its dealings with the jnter~ national communist leadership.
It is observed that even such leaders as JAMES © JACKSON, ELIZABETH FLYNN and GUS HALL himself rely on CG 5824-S* to edit their writings and speeches with regard to the correct Party ling when such are presented at inter- mational meetings or in connection with their writings.
Ϊ On the other hand CG 5824-S* has recently discussed ithe need for the use. of a technician, a courier so to spcak, to handle certain matters for him which the informant for various reasons night be unable to handle at any given time.

It is observed that NY: 694~8+ and CG 5804-58 are. full-time people in this operatiofi and the tasks that the Party imposes, combined with the taskés of servicing the Bureau, would almost take the functions of a successor out of the category of a part-time Operator’.

During the 9th Solo Mission, NY 694-53 attended in-Moscow, !

The purpose of this training was to improve Hts method of transmitting messageso © Russia.

" {nformant has received from the Soviets the secret writing material, and codes and ciphers and the processing of messages has been done “by the New York Office as informant did not feel it should be:done at his residence. Informant has a cover office at 50 Broad Street, New York, | which is a business office visited both by regular customers=as well as CP’ members and Russian contacts. The Bureau agreed with New York that from a security standpoint it, would not be practical to do this clandestine work in the present office, New york recommended ,, ἡ additional space be obtained at 50 Broad Street for this clandestine ‘Twork, While this would be convenient, the Bureau felt this operation performed in the same building where. informant now has a. cover: office would pose a security problem. New York was instructed. ‘to locate a, second office but not at 50 Broad Street.

Memorandum to Mr,. Sullivan RE:- SOLO 100~428091
New York has checked the space and claims it is secure. New York indices are negative regarding adjacent tenants and the closest building opposite the room is several hundred yards away. There is one entrance and two side doors in the room which are bolted on the inside. In view of the scarcity of space, informant, under the name of Jack Brooks using the name of Safe-Lock Company, has paid one month's rent and $35 for"securityY
Method of Operation
New York proposes that a safe be purchased and installed in the informant's present office at 50 Broad Street, This safe is a Model 621 Victor and would cost $249, The safe is manipulation
proof and considered secure by the FBI Laboratory. Informant will (maintain his secret writing material and camera. equipment in this safe.
A portable photographic kit has ‘been devised by the informant with the assistance of the New York Office. Since informant uses’ the cover office on a daily basis, maintenance of this material at this location is secure and practical, When enciphering or photographing must be done, informant will take the necessary equipment to the second office at 154 Nassau Street and perform the necessary work. The Bureau has insisted informant perform his own coding which is checked for accuracy by the New York Office before transmittal to the Soviet contact.
With regard to photographing, New York states a Minox | camera is used and the informant is required to transmit the undeveloped roll to his Russian contact. If informant takes the photographs alone without being accompanied by an Agent, we will not have complete control and, as a result, New York has been following the practice of
‘having an Agent present when informant performs any photographing and
a duplicate film is made as a record of what is transmitted by the informant. New York proposes that this same procedure be followed, namely, informant do his own coding but he be accompanied by an Agent when he performs any photographing. After this work is done, the equipment will be returned to informant's office at 50 Broad Street and placed back in the safe. As there will be occasions when informant will operate at 154 Nassau Street alone, New York suggested the Bureau authorize the purchase of a smaller Victor safe αὐ 8. οῦϑι of $178 for temporary deposit of material to. be turned over to the
Agent who can later pick up the material from the safe with full security. This second office: at 154 Nassau Street would only be
fe
Memorandum to Mr. Sullivan RE: SOLO 100-428091
used during the regular business hours and any material would not be left in the safe more than two hours. New York also requests authority to spend up to $200 for furnishing of this sécond office which would include steel reinforcement bars, locks for the doors, chairs, lamp, et cetera.
Request of Russians to Pay Expenses
Since informant previously requested his Russian contact to pay for rental of space for this clandestine work, New York Was requested to advise whether informant could be open to suspicion by the Russians for setting up this operation on his own. New York has advised informant has received no reply from the Russians concerning his ‘request to pay for the operation and the Soviet contact will not know that this second office has: been rented, Furthermore, informant does not intend to tell his Soviet contact he has this second office. If the Soviets turn down the request to pay. the cost, informant will then tell his contact he will handle the matter without disclosing any information concerning the operation. If the Soviets approve the expenses, informant will then advise his contact he will start looking for appropriate space. Informant feels he will not have to disclose to his contact the location of the new office but if he must do so the Bureau will be immediately advised and New York will provide additional information relative to security measures which may be necessary in connection with further utilization of the space.
ACTION:
It is recommended approval be given to establishing this second office for informant where he can perform clandestine work in connection with the Solo operation. For security reasons, this work cannot be, performed by informant at ‘his residence or business office and since the Soviets have not replied to his request for paying such expenses, it is also recommended New York be authorized to rent an office at 154 Nassau Street, New York City at $35 per month plus $35 deposit ‘and ‘to purchase furnishings not to exceed $200 to make the office presentable, Jn connection therewith, it is also recommended that two. safes be purchased as indicated above to maintain secret writing materials and photographic kit to be used by informant for this- work, Attached for approval is an appropriate letter to New York,

NY 694-S that he had two communications, the contents of which were to be transmitted to GUS HALL. Heé said that he was under strict orders from his Soviet. superiorsmt to deliver the documents thémselves to the informant. He stated that NY 6945 was to memorize the contents of these documents and réport the same to GUS HALL. '
NY 694~§ asked. ZAITSEV what the nature of the documents was, ZATTSEV replied that he had a letter which the Central. Committee of the CPSU had sent to. the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on 2/22/62, reflecting that the relationship between the GPSU.and the CPC had reached "a high point of deterioration and that it was urgent that the two - parties attempt to settle their differences.” He stated further that as yet the GPSU had not, received a reply to its letter from the CPC,
" ZATTSEV stated further that he also had ἃ document reflecting the cPpsu* 58 reaction to GUS HALL's evaluation. of the KENNEDY Administration,
NY 694-8 told ZATTSEV that it would be impossible for him to memorize the contents of the two documents and report the same to GUS HALL. After some argument with regard to this matter, ZATTSEV finally grudgingly consented. to allow NY 6946S "to take some notes" while reading the aforementioned documéns. After discussion of other matters, which will be mentioned herein- after, NY 694-S and ZAITSEV went to the subway’ station nearest the restaurant and for about three hours rode the gubways while NY 694+S copied, as best he could, the contents of the aforesaid documents. NY 694-S advises that with respect to the Soviet letter to the Chinese, mentioned above, he was able to copy almost verbatim the complete contents of the said letter with the | exception of the last page and ἐς ZAITSEV was becoming impatient and with regard to. the last page “and ἘΞ of the letter, NY 694-S copied therefrom what he considered to be the highlights of this portion of the letter, He stated that a good part of the last page and 5 contained "slogans" which were not particularly pertinent.
NY 100-134637.
According to thé informant, ZAITSEV stated that he had spent three days in translating into English the contents of the original letters which were written in Russian, ZAITSEV continuafly mentioned the fact that he was violating his instructions in allowing NY 694+S to make notes on these documents. NY 694*§ explained to ZAITSEV that GUS HALL. intended - to discuss at a National Executive Committee meeting to be held in NYover the period 5/10-13/62, the Soviet. reply .to his appraisal of the KENNEDY Administration, The informant told ZAITSEV that HALL certainly would not wish to méntion this. matter at the meeting if he had to rély solely on the informant'S recollection of the contents of the Soviet document.
The following is the content of the CPSU: Letter to the CP of China as copied from the translation ZATTSEV made available to the informant:

"We decided to write you this letter to expréss our concern over the course of relations between. our 2 parties have taken recently.

8. good basis for conducting these single policies ~ the declara-. tion of 1957 and the document adopted at the Moscow Conference

The following 4s the contents of the Soviet document reflecting the Soviets! reaction to GUS HALL's memorandum evaluating the KENNEDY Administratioh:
your report is in general a right analysis of the policy of the KENNEDY Administration. 1t cannot be called a Fascist Government and KENNEDY himself cannot be equalled to Hilter, Mussolini and Tojo. You are right in the character of American Imperialism at the present time and that no illusions should be made regarding the class struggle character of governments and you are right in indicating the danger of Fascism within USA.
; Nt seems to us. that the characteristic of the KENNEDY Administration should be made more clear and definite in your report instead of statement that KENNEDY Administration is supported to a largé extent by the working class, of the Negros, Liberals and Youth and that the ᾿ democratic Party is supported by wide strata of people’ to show the deep rooted opposition of the intérests of working class, of the peoples masses and of the national interests - of the American people as 2 whole to the policy of the Amer‘Lean monopolists which is now heing conducted by ‘the
KENNEDY Administration.
“Judging by the actions of the KENNEDY Administra- tion it- is now hardly possible to guarantee it would go by the way of serLlous revision of their policy and would reverse its agressive course. It would be more expedient from the point of view of mobilizing wide circles of public for the struggle against aggressive course of American imperialism to emphasize that KENNEDY Administration in many respects follows the ELSENHOWER Administration (inflating military action in South Viethani and Loas) in emphasizing their actions to follow the course of KENNEDY Administration in S$, Vietnam and Loas (recent statement of KENNEDY to be the
NY 200+132637

first to start a nuclear war, etc.) The United States Congress tries to combine the policy from a position. of strength (that 'U.S,4. is a peacé loving powert)
"You in the U.S.A. know also if there is a basis to release the KENNEDY Administration from the responsibility of increased persecution of the CPUSA. You are right in your paying attention to zig zag and waverings of the policy of the KENNEDY Administatiom and you are right to utilizing them to strengten the struggle for peace. We believe you are right inyour tactics to utilize the possibility of pressure and influence from the part of. move moderate circles of thé USA against KENNEDY Administration and mobilize the widest masgeS and also those who have illusions regarding the KENNEDY Administration for. the ‘struggle against Extreme Rightists.
"The people of the U.S.S.R. and the CPSU know about the brutal imperialist reaction against your party < and about the attempts of American Justice to throw the leaders of the CPUSA, the heroes of thé Am@rican people - in jail.
"ALT our sympathies and good feelings of deep fviendship and solidarity are on your aide and we are sure you will fight for peace and demoéracy for friendship of the U.S,S.R. and American People.

ZAITSEV, during the course of his meeting with ΝΥ 694-S, also furnished the following information:
He stated that. two days ago, the Central Committee O£ the CPSU had advised that the said committee had received a message from the Central Committee of the CPC to the effect that the CPC is in agreement with the CPSU disarmament program in general and that from now on the CPC will coopérate fully with the CPSU as regards this question, The Chinese, according. to the CPSU, admitted having had Opposite views on this question. up to the present time. ZAITTSEV made a point of telling NY 694-S that the above-described message was not a response . to the CPSU letter of 2/22/62, which suggested that the GP of China reconcile its differences with the CPSU. He emphasiged that no teply to that leter had as yet been received. ZAITSEV also stated that in view of the aboye information, the CPUSA should be informed that the CPUSA delegation to thé Moscow Peace Gonference might speak freely at the aforesaid conference,
NY .694-5 stated that 'ZAITSEV had furnished the above information in response to a quéstion raised by the inféxmant at a prévious meeting with ZAITSEV. ZATESEV had been told at that time that with respect. to the peace confereéhce to be in Moscow in July, the GPUSA and the CPUSA delegates to attend the aforesaid. peace conference were concerned about whethér they would be able to express freely their views at this peace conference since at the conference in Copenhagen there had’ been Sharp differences. between the Soviet and Chinese delegations which had prevented other delegations freely to participate in the discussions, eg TV Ute ga bet Se With tegard t ‘before the informant Δαν ΣῈ ἘΠ the USA, told the informant the following:

NY 694«S at this point asked ZAITSEV: whether the
Soviet Minister of Health's invitation for to go to the Soviet Union indicated that the letter would be entertained as a tourist in the Soviet Union, ZATTSEV replied that the invitation from the Minister of Health for to visit the
Soviet Union was "merely a pretext ,!!
At this point NY 694-S advised ZATTSEV that [haa already left the United States on April 29th and that he might ~ or might not be at the present. time in Paris, ‘Informant told ZATTSEV that [supposedly would remain in Paris for several weeks awaiting medical supplies which he wants to take to. ᾿ Informant also told ZAITSEV that it, is quite possible that had already left Paris and that it would be impossible to contact him before the latter should arrive in Africa. NY 694-8 told ZATTSEV that in the event ad already left Paris for Africa
it might bé just as well t at he go to Moscow on his return from Africa, whenever that might bes. ZATITSEV indicated that he was in agreement, with NY 694<S's suggestion and said tha

With, respect to the matter of sending to the Soviet Union the records of ROBERE MINOR and JAMES FORD, NY 694-S told ZAITSEV that in his opinion it would be better to sort and correlate. this. material before sending it to Moscow, He indicated that in his opinion it all might not be of interest to the Soviets,
He also indicated to: ZAITSEV that it would require con- siderable time to sort and correlate this. material = that it might - require a year to. do this, ZAITSEV indicated that the Soviets — would be disappointed not to receive this material at this time, but said that it. would probably be best that the material be sortdand correlated before being sent to Moscow,,

The term, second hand, is explained by the Dbliowing:
When the Soviets, within the past year, furnished 8. sum of money to a source of the NYO for transmittal to CPUSA Headquarters, he was instructed to "wash" the money before delivering it. Subsequently the NYO exchanged this money at a NY bank,
The identification of the original money furnished by the Soviets to the source and the identification of the money received in-exchange from the NY bank was recorded, Subsequently the exchanged money was given to the source for transmittal to the CPUSA.
The 50 $20.00 notes deposited by NETDELMAN are identical with 50 of the above-mentioned exchanged notes.
In other words, "Labor Today", at least in this instance, received financial support from the CPUSA who In turn, received the money directly from the Soviets.

All of the above correspondence pertains to the obtaining of additional office space by NY 694-S* in order that he may have adequate space to encipher his own messages, as well as performing the necessary work in connection with the microfilming of these messages.
NY 694-S* has been since February 1962, attempting to locate adequate space in order to handle this work. His efforts up to this time have not been fruitful mainly due to the fact that such space has not been readily available in the lower Manhattan district, which general area, it is felt, would be most desirable for this operation. In addition, the rents in that area are fainly high.
On May 2, 1962, NY 694-S* advised that he had located office space, which he felt would adequately serve 4 the purpose. This space is located at 15η Nassau Street, &4 Ἰ New York City, known as the "Tribune Building". If is directly across the park from City Halland adjacent to Pace College, The informant stated that he contacted Mr. MOSES - BUKANTZ, manager of the building, Room 910, at 154 Nassau Street, and determined that Room 1216 was available for rental and that was the only space in the building so available, The rental 15 535,00 a month, which includes electricity.

The building is old but 511} presents a good appearance. It has a fairly-large lobby. The building is serviced by seven manually-operated ει akevators, Room 1216 ig_lodated, on the 12th floor. | As one exits from the elevator on the 12th Floor there ἐξ a very large apea in the center of which is a large open stainwell running the entire height of the building, Offices surround. this. stairwell.

In -this connection, the informant inqvired of Mp.

There ate a desk and 2 chairs located in the room and the “management has advised” the informant.that he would be expected to purchase this furniture, In view of the quality of the furniture, it would not appear that more than $50.00 “πον τ ὰπσσσ
would be involved in such a purchase.

During a general conversation with the shoeshine man located in. the lobby of the puilding, it was asdertained that the management is not providing any special services © for its tenants due to the fact that it is expectdd that Pace College will take over the building within the next two or thrée years and thus the management..is .no. longer issuing leases, It appears fpom this that is the reason why the péntal of this office is as low as it is. It Was also ascertained that the management no longer operates the freight elevator-due to his cutback on the services rendered to tenants.. This is being pointed out to the Bureau as it has a connection with the rental of the office and the lack of questions asked by Mp. BUKANTZ of NY 694-S*, Informant advised that in renting the premises all he had to advise him was that it was being rénted by JACK BROOKS of. Lipton Lane under the name tof SAFE- LOCK COMPANY, No γὲ preferences were requested and he was"tOrd that at any time he“falléd"to~pay. his rent in advancé he would have to.vacate. The informant used the .
\ hame of BROOKS and the SAFE-LOCK COMPANY due to the
possibility that a check mignt be made of him and as the Bureau 18 aware -he has, established a fictitious background
of that name and company for the SOLO operation..
There are séveral hundred tenants in the Trébune Building. Many of these are Lawyers dentists and doctors. Thé Policé Benévolent Association algo has office space there. With reference to Mr. BUKANTZ, this office has in the past contacted him in connection with the verification of tenancy by the Committee to Defend Franzisco Molina, Bufile 105-984101, Mr. BUKANTZ has been most cooperative jwaith the. agents, There is no yrecord in the indices on Mp, BUKANT2 ΕΣ ,

In connection with the SOLO operation, the NYO desires to point out to the Bureau that certain very important elements exist, which. it is felt, should be | considered in the final decision on the rental of this space. The Buréau has instructed that the informant orm his own. coding, as well ag photo ent τὸ be transmitted to. Russia. Asithe Bureau. was previously advised, the NYO is in _fomplete | accord with the Bureau's thoughts along this Tine, es peCrariy~ae it" pertains τὸ coding. In connection_with, this jiatter, the NYO: feels that we cannot take any action which wiil ‘catisé “us to 10sé_apy..control, over the Ὁ operation.

With yeference to doing his own photographic work, this situation: does not prevail for technical reasons.

- then, transmitted to the Russian contact. Therefore, “it is © vioug that ifthe informant is permitted to take these pictures alone without being accompanied by an agent, we have lost compléte control of the situation. “This. obviously is an intolerable situation, In the past and up to two or thrée months - ago, these photographs ‘were taken by our laboratory in the NYO. For the past several
months, and as a result _of a photographic kit that was
prepared by the informant with ‘thé assistance of NYO personnel, these”photographs have been taken in a hotel room in the presence of an agent. A duplisate film was:
" made under Ehe same condition as thé one prepared far transmission; This film was developed in order to have a hetter idea of the work_being performed By informant.
Since this kit was prepared, the NYO has insisted that the informant take his own photographs .. which he has done, but always under Speciak Apent supervision. In order to
| continue this control; if:is felt that an agent must be present at δὴν tiie this. informant prepares photographic

No. request is being made at this time for payment of telephone service. due to the fact that it is. hot known if telephone service will be needed, .
The NYO désires to emphasize to the Bureau that in, connection with its decision inthis matter, three things in particular should be considered:

Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), by letter dated 5/24/62 through our Liaison representative, requested additional information Voncaved = a school in Moscow where two Communist Party (CP)..members
eceived training for clandestine operations during 1961, as ἂν re
Specifically, CIA made reference to our "Sap Se¥ " ἐξδου- ment entitled "Current Status of the Communist Party, USA; dated 4/3/62 which was forwarded to CIA 4/5/62. In this document itwas stated that in June, 1961, the Soviets trained one AmeYican communist for eight days at a secret school in Moscow. Later in {961 @nother Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), member was afforded similar training by the Soviets, Their training included instructions in the use of codes and ciphers, secret inks and microfilming. There were then set forth the identities of two of the instructors,
CYA is interested in any further information our sources may be able to provide concerning this school. CIA is especially interested in ascertaining the exact location of the school, whether it is run by the Committee of State Security or by some other organi~ zation and whether members of any other free world communist parties are receiving such training.
The two CP members who received this training were, of course, NY 694-S* and CG 5824-S*. NY 694-S* has furnished informa~ tion indicating the general locations in Moscow where he received this training and CG 5824-S* was more specific in this regard.
CG 5824-S* pointed out that in connection with this training he
met with individuais described only as "security people." However, these individuals were believed by informant to be from the Security Department, Intelligence Division of the Central Committee, CP of the Soviet Union and were persons engaged in United States affairs.

ore specific information to CIA covering this training could ‘possibly lead to uncovering these two informants, especially if such information finds its way back to the Soviets or to the CPUSA. Our informants have furnished no information indicating that other members of any free world communist parties are receiving this training.
It is felt that in this instance the security of these two informants and the apparatus which we have painstakingly built around them are of paramount importance. For this reason, we should advise CIA that we can furnish no further specific information at this time.
RECOMMENDATION: — That the attached letter be forwarded through Liaison to
CIA advising that Agency that we can furnish no further specific information at this time as regards their request.

Re Bucalls to Chicago 5/31/62 concerning a Laboratory results relating to secret handwriting message received by CG 5824-5*, possibly through his Mexican apparatus.
CG 5824-S* telephonically contacted this office from California on 5/31/62 and was told of apparent error by thé Russians in either furnishing him a formula or other possible technical difficulties which made rasing of secret writing impossibie.,
He suggested that NY 694-S* be contacted to determine his views relating to this matter with possible view to advising Soviet principal of receipt of message but inability to raise handwriting at the earliest possible time. Informant advised that in his opinion this message may be a trial message and of no Other significance; however, he felt that since it is possible there are more important instructions this procedure through NY 694-S* should be followed.
Accordingly, Chicago on 5/31/62 contacted New York and had NY 694-S* consulted. NY 694-S* reportedly was in agreemént with CG 5824-S* that it would be desirable to appraise Russian principal of the above difficulties in the event there were emergency instructions therein. NY 694-S* tentatively plans to contact principal on evening of 6/4/62 and will appraise principal of the above at that time. New York informant also - Ἀν that this may be a trial message.

Memo Branigan to Sullivan 5/29/62 set forth inforrfa- tion that-CG 5824-S*, who was in Los Angeles at that time, (had: received a secret writing Letter addressed to a drop in Chicago. The letter had been picked up in Chicago by informant's bride- to=-be and brought to him in Los Angeles. Informant did not have with him the equipment to develop this letter, He there- fore sent the letter to a confidential box in Chicago and the Chicago Office forwarded it to the Laboratory.
The Laboratory used the; chemical formula which CG 5824-S* had previously recommended to be used. CG 5824-S* was.trained in the use of secret link writings. while on Solo Mission 10 and this was the formula which the Russians had advised him to use. The faint rectangular outline of a message . was detectable in this letter but it could not be raised suf-. ficiently to determine its contents.
The fact that this message could not be raised was - transmitted to the Chicago Office and, subsequently, to , CG 5824-S*,.. CG 5824-S* stated that in his opinion this may have been a trial message and of no other significance. How- ever, he felt that since it is possible there were more important instructions contained therein, he felt the Soviets should be advised of the receipt of the message but inability to raise . the secret writing. a"
. NY 694-S* has advised that on his. next meet with the - Soviet! ‘contact he will give the latter a microfilm message that CG 5824.5 has received the letter but that it is not legible.

durable "because they have copper bodies."
ZAITSEV said that the Soviets have. experienced similar problems with the Minox cathera, and have found that "for volume work, the 16 mm. movie camera is better on a single exposure."
(With regard ‘to the above-mentioned first page of the Youth report, it is to be noted that the said page was not missing in the developed rolé of the microfilm, which was shot
| at the same time, and’ from which the NYO has developed prints,)
ZAITSEY then advised NY 694~S* that he and his family planned to return to the Soviet Union about the middle of June for 4 vacation, and that he would return to the USA at the end of August. He said that during, his absence, NY 694-s* would be contactéd by “another man.” He indicated that this individiar, whom he will introduce to the informant at a subsequent meeting, does not speak English very well. He suggested that NY 694-53 not "overload" this individual at any one meeting, particularly that the informant "should not give him a mass of unimportant information together with really important information,”
NY 694-S* asked ZAITSEV whether the CPUSA material to be read at the Symposium in. Prague (mentioned in NYaixrtel 5/18/62), and délivered to ZALTSEV for transmittal to Moscow and Prague,, would arrive in time in Prague.

On 6/5/62, NY 694-S* firnished the following informa-. tion to SA ALEXANDER C, BURLINSON:
v At 7 p.m., on 6/4/62, pursuant to previously made telephonic arrangements, the informant went to the area of the Town, House Restaurant in Queens, NYC, to meet his Soviet contact VALENTIN ALEKSANDROVICH ZAITSEV. Upon observing NY 694=-S* in the area, ZAITSEV walked to the Sutphin Avenue station of the-Inde~ pendent Subway, the informant following at a short distance } ‘behind ZAITSEV.

ZATTSEV and the young δὴ \\ Russian also boarded the train, the young Russian riding in the same Ϊ car that the informant was in, but ZAITSEV. riding elsewhere.

NY 694-S* then motioned to the young Russian to join him. The informant. inquired whether a rendezvous had been previously determined, and the Russian replied that they were to meet at the Salerno Restaurant at Myrtle Ave. and Hiliside Ave.,; * in Richmond Hi11, Queens. The Russian and the informant then went by subway to the area of Myrtle Ave. and Hillside Ave. and discovered that ZAITSEV was riding on the same train,
ΤᾺ the course of their subway ride, the young Russian told NY 694-S" that he would contact the informant while ZATTSEV was abroad, and that he was familiar with what his contacts with NY 694-8* would entail. The Russian stated that the following new arrangements for contact would be in effect:
Until June 20th, 1962, NY 694-S* may continue to call
WRENG-4600 (the telephone number of OLEG DANILOVICH KALUGIN - Ἴ: Bufile 105-86457) to indicate that he desires to make a contact. 'A call to this number at 10:05 p.m., allowing the phone to ring
twice, and then hanging up, will signify that a contact should be made at 7 p.m. on the following evening in the area of the Town House Restaurant. A-call to this number at 8:35 a.m. will sigaify that at 7 p.m. the informant will leave a message for the Soviet in a metal box attached to the bottom of a sink in Club 111, located at lllth St. and Jamaica Aye., Queens. (This is veferred to as the "Augusta" drop).
After June 20th, 1962, the informant is to call PLaza 1-2799, following the above described procedure except that the morning call should be made at 8 a.m, and the evening call at 10:20 p.m. (It has been ascertained that PLaza 1-2799 is the telephone number of VIKTOR IVANOVICH RASSADIN-Bufile 105-96950- who resides at Royal York House, 425 E, 63rd St., NYC, apartment 6G, and who is Special Adviser to the Bureau of Social Affairs of the UN Secretariat).
The young Russian stated that the oceupant of the apartment. where the telephone listed as RI 9-4600 is located is also returning to the Soviet Union for a vacation (OLEG DANILOVICH RALUGIN). He also commented that he himself had had a vacation last year, but would not have one this year. He further remarked that “his friend" (ZAITSEV) had not. had a vacation for four years, and currently is packing. in preparation to leave for his vacation in the Soviet Union. |

When the informant and the young Russian reached the end of the Jamaica Line to change to anothertrain going to 1215ὺ St. (the area of the Salerno Restaurant), they cbserved ZATTSEV in the said train. Upon leaving the train at 12ist St., ZATTSEV joined NY SONS, and the your; Russian walked behind.
While “walking toward the restaurant, ZALTSEV stated that he had come only to introduce NY 694-S* to his new contac ts and would leave them at this point, where the informant and the young Russian should continue on to the restaurant wnere they cou a
NY 694-S* told ZATTSEV that before leaving, the latter would have to discuss severe! important matters with the informant. At this point, NY 694-S* gave ZATTSEV, in a chewing gum package, microfilm containing the follcwing, concerning which the Bureau already has been advised:
NY 100-134637
A report allegedly submitted at a recent NEC meeting by GUS HALL; a message that a secret-hendwriting message sent to CG 5824-S* was illegible; a complaint that ;pumoeLonary gab the Soviet Embassy in Washington, D.C., whilé/discussicn with the non~Party head of the tour to the Helsinki Youth Festival, had demanded, in irresponsible fashion, that the aforesaid tour head identify a special group of CPUSA delegates that would be pert of the tour-group; and the first page of a Youth Report, previously furnished, from which, as reported by ZATYSEV, the Yirst page had been missing.
With regard to the illegible secret handwriting message mentioned above, NY 694-S* asked ZAITSEV whether the latter was familiar with the fact that such a message had been sent to CG 582h-s*, ZAITSEV said he knew enly that such a message had been mailed from NY, but that he did not know the content thereof, He said to send the mssgage again in the same form would require about *hree weeks, ZAITSEV then said that he would ascertain whether the message had been urgent, and that, if so, the young Russian would deliver the text of the message to NY 694-S* within a few days. If not urgent, the mesgage would be sent as previously to Chicago in two or three weeks.
Regarding the irresponsible functionsry at the Soviet Embassy, mentioned above, concerning whom NY 694-S* told ZATISEV the whole story, N¥ 694-S* told ZAITSEV that HALL 1s in a rage about the incident, and that.the matter should be reported to the Soviet Embassy immediately. ZATTSEV agreed that what she Soviet functionary had done was stupidly irresponsible, and stated that a call warld be made on that evening to the said Embassy, advising of this matter,
ZALTSEV, before leaving, told NY 694-S* that he would be in contact with the informant again "some time around Labor Day." ZAITSEV then left, and NY 694-S* and the young Russian entezed the Salerno Restaurant where they had dinner. ‘The young Russian requested that NY 694-S* order for him because he did not wish the waiter to notice that -he spoke with a heavy Russian accent.

Central intelligence Agency (CIA) and other interested Government agencies the English translation of portions of a letter reportedly sent on 2/22/62 by the Communist Party, Soviet Union (CPSU), to the Communist Party of China (CPC).
It will be recalled that on 5/7/62, NY 694-S* met with his Soviet contact, Valentin Zaitsev, Counselor, Soviet Mission to the: United Nations. At that time, Zaitsev pointed out that he had translated instant letter from Russian to English. While he desired the contents thereof made known to the Communist Party, — USA (CPUSA), Zaitsev stated he was under strict orders fronhis ©, Soviet superiors not to deliver the document itself to the."informant. Informant demurred to this and Zaitsev relented to the @xtent,sthat source was able to copy a portion of the letter and high; lights of the remainder. Ὡς

On 6/6/62 CIA furnished our Liaison representative with a copy of a Dap Secret" memorandum from ἢ. P. Southard to.Mrs. Jane Roman of CIA dated 6/4/62. Therein CIA made reference to our letter of 5/14/62 enclosing the above-mentioned English translation of the letter from Russia to Red China. CIA asked the following questions;
~
Question: CIA noted that we described our source as one which "has furnished reliable information in the past."' CIA desire to know if this source was identical to the source which provided some of the documents furnished CIA in January, 1961, in Bufile | 100~-428091., CIA further noted that it was "'gonfident that the docy ments of file number 100~428091 were authentic" and CIA would like to have the same confidence in instant document. CIA. further asked, "If the source is not the 8" is it a source in Wy AG FBI has
the same confidence?" PX, ἡ 9 / DO- H-¥O q /—. φὐόῦ

Memorandum to. Mr. Sullivan RE: SOLO 100-428091
100-428091. For maximum protection of our sources, we will advise CIA that we have the same confidence in instant source as that | source which furnished information in Bufile 100-428091 in January, 1961,
Question: CIA desired to know whether or not instant decument was part of a letter from the CPSU to the CPUSA and, if so,
‘the approximate date of the letter. CIA noted that this information:
would be important in judging whether or not the Soviet Party is now engaged in another campaign against the Chinese Party in the world communist movement and, if. so, when it began.
Comment: This was not part of a letter to the CPUSA but the
CPUSA became aware in May, 1962, that such a-letter
reportedly was sent.
Question: CIA noted that our letter of 5/14/62 stated that the
enclosed document to that letter was a translation of "portions of a letter in the possession of a Russian official." CIA noted that the final page of the document enclosed with our letter appears to indicate omissions at the énd of two paragraphs. CIA desired to know whether these omissions reflect omissions in the document in the possession of the Russian official or whether they represented the source's omissions.
Comment; As noted above, Zaitsev pushed our informant to the point where informant was able to copy only the high lights of
the latter portion of the Soviet letter to Red China. While one
sentence in each of two paragraphs was incomplete, we furnished the
information in toto for its value in assisting to analyze this situ-
ation. Informant has already furnished us with all information in
his possession in this regard, Therefore, we will advise CIA that
our source can furnish no further information concerning this document.
The above-mentioned CIA memorandum concluded with, "Please extend our felicitations again to the FBI, which has provided the best documents we have ever had in the field of Sino-Soviet relations and which is continuing that fine work now."
_ ΑΒ. can be seen from the above, our top informants are con- tinuing to score in providing us with information of this caliber which is so timely and which is of much assistance to top Government officials in analyzing the current world situation.

Memorandum to Mr, Sullivan RE: SOLO 100-428091
RECOMMENDATIONS ;
It is recommended that in order to further protect our informant our Liaison representative advise CIA as follows in, connection with its request.
1, The FBI has equal confidence in the source which provided the document furnished to CIA by our letter of 5-14-62
as the other source which furnished information in January, 1961, . in Bufile 100-428091.
2. Instant document was not part of a letter to the CPUSA from the CPSU.
3. Our source can furnish no further information concerning this document.

δ AS
Although he is not currently in the country, it may be of some interest to note that an American writer and film maker who would normally be a logtcal [choice and contact for such a project is JOHN HOw WSON, /CP film writer of many years activity who is currently in Moscow where he has been for the past year. LAWSON is reported to be doing a book on 6 film-making which he hopes to have published in the Soviet bie Union. It is further noted that prior to going to the Soviet Union a year ago in May, 1961, as part of a European trip, LAWSON had been invited by the Cuban film industry to come there as an adviser of film-making. LAWSON seriously con- sidered accepting the invitation but finally turned it down because he was assured of insufficient funds to make it worthwhile, ᾿
les Angeles has no information that LAWSON has been contacted in regard to the subject of referenced airtel fron Chicago but in view of the reported interest of the CP, USSR, in such a project, together with the fact that what would appear to be a logical ehoice to contact on the matter is currently in Moscow, it would appear to be a consideration to be borne in mind.
